Megyn Kelly Comes Back From Vacation To New BLISTERING Attacks By Trump…The Feud’s Not Over Yet

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump resurrected his feud with Fox News personality Megyn Kelly after she returned from vacation Monday. Kelly had not been on air since August 12.

The row between Kelly and Trump began after the first Republican presidential debate, at which time the real estate mogul didn’t believe he was treated fairly by moderator Kelly. Trump tweeted the following not long after the debate concluded:

About a week after the debate, Kelly announced on her program, The Kelly File, she was going on vacation to spend more time with her family. Upon returning to the show, Kelly drew more fire from Trump on Twitter, again using the term “bimbo”:

I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly. Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 25, 2015

“Donald Trump’s surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing,” Ailes said in a statement Tuesday. “Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at Fox News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise.”

I could not be more proud of Megyn for her professionalism and class in the face of all of Mr. Trump’s verbal assaults. Her questioning of Mr. Trump at the debate was tough but fair, and I fully support her as she continues to ask the probing and challenging questions that all presidential candidates may find difficult to answer. Donald Trump rarely apologizes, although in this case, he should.

We have never been deterred by politicians or anyone else attacking us for doing our job, much less allowed ourselves to be bullied by anyone and we’re certainly not going to start now. All of our journalists will continue to report in the fair and balanced way that has made Fox News Channel the number one news network in the industry.

Trump shot back not long after the Fox News boss issued his statement.

“I totally disagree with the Fox statement. I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist,” Trump said in a statement of his own.

I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair. Hopefully in the future I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as Fox deserves.

Assuming Trump is still in the race, Kelly will have another opportunity to ask the eccentric candidate about his policies and demeanor, as she will once again be part of the Fox News moderating team in January when the cable network hosts its next GOP presidential debate. Kelly will be returning, along with Chris Wallace and Bret Baier.
